The Nineteenth Meredith Music Festival has sold out of tickets. Demand was higher than at any time in the festival’s history but the Subscriber Ballot system has ensured the great majority of tickets got into the hands of regular Meredith-goers.

Festival staff were on hand this week at several record stores across Victoria to hand out free coffee and muffins and to ensure ticket-seekers were kept informed about their chances – some had slept overnight outside the stores.

More acts are being added to the lineup and details will be forthcoming.
